Hula-hoops, laces, chains, threads, mirrors, and other things Kengo has been using in his works are all daily things. He plays around with such ordinary ready-made materials and assembles them into works in a broad range of formats, such as two- and three-dimensional objects, installations, and videos. The basic images in Kengo mind are those of microorganisms that are infinitely reproducing themselves through repeated cell divisions.
Kengo aspires to express complexity, variety, chaos, and vitality of nature and the biological world that can be identified with jungle trees, nebulae, and viruses. Life is maintained by the constantly working nervous system; this sense of movement and of being a float, and the negation of stasis are the key concepts of his work.
